Is there a reason why WHM is the weakest healer in all fields?

Has been since at least toilet paper lily’s

Since 2.0 ARR really.

While SCH was lacking burst and AoE heal back then SCH had more mana at hand for powerfull shields and of course dps. WHM would run out of mana fast. Lustrate was percentage based, so you could use it under Cleric Stance, the fairy was stronger and also kept healing under Cleric Stance and even if SCH had to swap out of cleric the damage came mostly from the DoTs which were still running.

So you only brought a WHM because there was no other option.

When we got AST with HW the job was undertuned, but only for a few weeks, then they buffed AST through the roof and since it was basically a WHM copy but with utility - well.

WHM always was the worst healer.
